Update,

Tweaked balance, removed many of the heavies that came out in final stage. so should be more streamlined now.

interesting. wonder if something changed in a relic patch since this is a very old map. I'll review the scripts and adjust/update accordingly... shouldn't be a barrage of tigers...

this map sucks, the german army shows up and its literally 50+ tigers when i cant even get enough man power for 1 tank.

Yup. I had odd player slots turned off but entities still in map, relic doenst like that now..

I fixed it... should work good now! Thanks again CN

as I know since coh2 is using this order list.

INFO from Advanced AI the player slot order is cross fire :
team 1 using 1 3 5 7.

CN. Thats a new one, relic must have changed how player slots are assigned. will review. thank you again CN - your an incredible asset! :)

system think this is a 2V2 map not 3V3 map

Will review why. Thank you again CN. Super helpful to me on these!

map still playable but P3 is the issue due to spawning error.
for now only P1 P2 is playable
DON'T use P3 slot.

Patch 1.9 broke map. Had to switch AI player slots out of Neutral.

Thanks Caaaat! Will update that.

The update seems to be working good. So far no bug splats when playing with a full team. A suggestion I have is it would be good if the supply drops are both munitions and fuel. So replace the health kits to fuel would be good imo. Good map so far, keep em comin.

Updates,

- Cleaned up the scripts, added some delays in the beginning of the match, I think too many playbill scripts were firing at the same time. Hopefully fixes any errors.

that would be awesome thank you. I'll review before then and update too.

I can get my group together this weekend and try it a couple times. Try to get some data for you

macdaddymario, any chance it was the same player? (player slot 3 for example). would help me bugfix... I'm goign to review all the scripts again this weekend and get it back to its heightened glory, it is a fun horde kill map :)

My group of 3 and I never got it to work either, sadly. Even after your previous update, one of us would still always get the bugsplat while the other 2 waited. Then once the 3rd was bugsplatted, the other two would be able to play.

Caaaaat, let me check it out again, something may have changed last relic patch.

Trying to play this with 2 other friends, will always end up with one of us having a bug splat. Game set with no tuning packs, annihilation, standard starting resources.

Gotta play this one! :D

Updated,

- Cleaned up some scripts. Recompiled. Hopefully runs better now. Ran a couple tests no errors.

No, no tuning packs. Team 2 was the ai, german selected.

I didn't try loading it solo, but with 3 of us it was consistent with it picking at least one of us getting the error.

macdaddymario - thanks for comment. Taking a look, havent had any error reports for long time. Let me see whats going on.

Were you using any tuning packs (usually causes crash). Also make sure team 2 is AI.

Tried it with 2 friends, at least one of us constantly had the error loading match results followed by the bugsplat.

We tried victory points and annihilation+ modes. And one of us would randomly get the error each time. The enemy team was the only one with German selected. One of us selected British while the other 2 were American. No tuning packs.

Once the one person crashed, the other 2 were able to play no problem. Any idea?

reposted because I wanted to make sure I subscribed to the thread for followups

Good to hear, thanks Kilgore85!

ran it a few times today seems like whatever you did it worked running nice and smooth now and the extra pop for the first player really helps a lot

Kilgore85. I just tested it a couple time with and without players, no issues. however I did clean it up a bit (scripts), reduce smoke, increased pop cap for p1 since they start with a lot of troops.

Make sure Team 2 is AI only german. Try it without any tuning packs.

Let me know if it works if you get a chance. thank you.

ya i've tried playing this twice now and i get an error loading match results followed by an immediate crash right after that

JBGamingPC. THanks for comment, I'll see if something changed since last patch. I just tried it now with AI and it worked fine, but I'll try it with some players later today and see whats going on.

Doesnt work for me. When the map starts it just freezes. Just made custom game myself vs ai. Once it said fatal SCAR error

ObstGott, this is first im seeing this. I just tried it again seems to work fine. Make sure you are player 1, and computer ai is always team 2. Does the crash happen right away or minutes in? what error msg is it giving? anything to help me figure out why its crashing on your side. thanks...

Crashes all time Vanilla and with mods

Das Berk, this is the first time I'm hearing this. Are you using any tuning packs? This map is a major resource hog as their are lots of enemies attacking from all angles, is your computer/graphics card above min. game requirements? Feel free to msg me or reply here. thank you.

crashes my game on start up

TIPS!

Since action is pretty much instant, and with most horde maps, BARBWIRE is your friend. Plant it all over. MG/Mortars/AT are all vital for defense...

Focus on getting base defenses up before exploring capture points.

You should be good!

Updates,

- Added ally tanks during victory sequence.
- Increased start time to give players more time to figure out whats going on, build defenses.

Updates,

- Fixed scout pink box car.
- Added victory bombing and countdown.
- Misc tweaks throughout.

"Gordy's gone Shadow. I'll be out front man, Good Luck."

I didn't add any Playbill Scripts to players: The reason so you can run this with only PLAYER 1 if you want and dont have to fill all the slots. You should be able to use all the main tuning packs as well if you want to boost your pop cap, resources, etc...

Background... I thoroughly enjoyed the movie Blackhawk down and wanted to use it as an influence for duplicating chaos in the middle of a hostile environment.

Of course no blackhawks were around in WW2, however there was a American squad named Black Hawk, so kind of play on the name.

I did add a Mature content warning to this map as there are hundreds of civilians and women sucide bombers that want to blow up your base...

Anywho! Enjoy. Took so long to create this hope someone finds it as fun as I do. :) Please comment suggestions, bugs, etc...
